    Character Evaluation

    Gareth Edwards is an all-round director   . His style is two words "save money", but this does not mean that he will sacrifice the quality of the film. First of all, he arranged a lot of work in the filming, not only as the director, but also writing the script, taking the shot, and recording himself. Of course, he did his own work on the art and special effects production. In the movie "Monsters", he calculated the production cost carefully. Moreover, he showed amazing talent in this directorial debut, successfully creating a lazy and dreamy apocalyptic atmosphere, blending horror and moving together, breaking through the stereotypes of ordinary alien invasion movies   . When directing the movie "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", Gareth Edwards bravely broke through the traditional routine of the previous work .
